The Fairy pulled her bangs, and nodded. "Are you still thinking of him, Mistress?" asked the cat. The Fairy simply twirled her stray hair.

Flash back

I pulled at my bangs. It has been already half an hour since I arrived here. I was getting bored of waiting. "Mou, that BAKA Nio. He is always late for our date, always always late. Humph." I sighed.

It was then I dozed off to sleep.

I love you, Miyu...

I jolted. I opened my eyes. I looked at my watch, another 1 hour has passed. I wonder what was taking him so long.

"Miyu! Miyu! Nii-san, Nii-san, he... he," I turned my head around, Ann was running towards me. "What is it?" I asked Ann curiously. Tears were streaming down Ann's face. I wondered if something happened. "Nii-san was involved in a car accident..." Ann whispered.

Was this some kind of joke, i wondered.

I looked at her and laughed. "Oh, come on, Ann, today is New Year's Eve. Stop making jokes..." I trailed off.

Blood...

Crimson blood.

Crimson blood was evident on Ann's clothes...

Crimson blood, as red as his eyes, the colour he loved the most...

"Oh, is that paint? Why did you splatter yourself with paint, Ann?" I asked, my voice shaking.

Ann looked at me seriously. "Do I look like I am joking, Miyu?" she demanded, tears continued to stream down her face.

I stared at her. "You are joking, ri... right?" I continued to protest.

My heart was aching. Somewhere in my heart, it told me she wasn't lying. Ann was silent.

I dropped my phone.

Ann said nothing.

OOOOO

I opened my eyes. "I see... Ann said that Nio died..." I mumbled. I looked at my calendar, two has passed. Today was Nio's funeral.

OOOOO

"How unfortunate, he was only 18..."

"Too bad the driver was drunk."

"I hope his girlfriend recovers soon..."

"I heard he was going to propose to her on that day..."

All kinds of murmurings were heard. I looked at my ring finger. A single tear rolled down my cheek. That day, Ann had passed me the box drenched with blood, inside, was a diamond ring, untouched, untainted.

"Ann, Ann... Pa...Pass this to...to Miyu," those were his last words.

I stared at the ring blankly. "Ne, Nio, you love me, right? Hey, you wanna come to my house later?"

Hn... Of course I love you. Fine, lets go to your house then.

His voice still echoed in my head.

I looked at the black coffin before me. It was time to cover it up with soil. I picked up a spade and started to cover it with soil, along with Nio's other relatives.

Ne, Nio, if I were to die, what would you do?

Tch. Like that will happen... (Pause)If you were to die, I will become an angel and look for you in the afterlife.

Really!? Well, if you were to die, I will recreinate and look for your recreination.

Humph, dummy, as if I am going to die. I am 100 times cleverer than you.

Baaaaka.

Mou! You are so mean, Nio.

That conversation never left my head. Why? why? Why did you leave me alone. You promised, you promised!

Hey, polka dots. Never die before me okay?

Ehh? I thought you said that I wouldn't die.

Dummy, everyone would die.

Fine, you win. Mou, I cross my heart and swear to you that I shall never die before you do. Then, Nio, you can't die before me too, okay?

I swear.

Lets die together, ok?

You promised! You promised! You broke your promise! You broke it! I cried as I continued to hit at my pillow.

OOOOO

A single tear rolled down the face of the Fairy. She blinked. "Why am I crying?" she thought. She wiped away the tear. "My heart aches... I should have gotten over this a long time ago, but why?"

"Wow! Are you the lengendary Golden Fairy?"

The Fairy's head spun around. Her eyes widened.

Crimson.

Crimson blood.

Crimson blood, as red as his eyes, the colour he loved the most...

Involuntarily, she spoke, "You... You are..."

Natsume turned to Ruka. "Wow! Her voice sounds like bells ringing. It simply sound like music!"

The Fairy found herself staring into those crimson eyes again. Ruka spoke up," Your hair colour is really beautiful! Oh, Natsume, what should we do? It is getting dark... Oh, look at that adorable white cat!" The cat purred.

Natsume ignored him, and focused on the Fairy.

"Wait... is your name... Miyu?"
